* ex Captain Douglas-Morris Collection Lot 5 
ex Captain Vivian Hewitt Collection, a famous specimen 

All guineas struck before the Act of Union with Scotland in 1707 are decidedly rare, but here is a coin of 
extraordinary importance, as it appears to be the first pattern for a guinea ever struck. While Wilson & Rasmussen 
list it second after their no. 58 (rose in centre), the historical evidence indicates that their no. 59, this piece, was 
in fact made before it, therefore becoming the first-ever pattern in gold created for a guinea style never issued. 
Hocking states (page 142, item no. 1556) the following: ‘This design was submitted to the Queen for approval, 
but by a Warrant dated 30 th June, 1702, she directed that the monogram on the reverse should be replaced by a 
rose, and that on the obverse a dress should be added below the neck. This was carried out for the current coins’. 
Not only was the monogram changed to a rose, and drapery added, but the entire bust was reconceived for the 
issued guineas, as well as for the piece W&R list as a pattern or proof, their no. 60, featuring the familiar portrait 
tilted slightly forward with somewhat smaller facial features, showing an entirely redone hairstyle, and lacking the 
lovelock over the shoulder so prominent on the first two patterns, as exemplified by the present specimen. W&R.60 
may in fact be a pattern technically, but more faithfully described it is a proof for the issued coinage. Therefore the 
two patterns, nos. 58 and 59, are unique in style, and of course truly rare. Crowther, who also lists the monogram 
issue ahead of the rose variety, enumerates this as the first known pattern for a guinea; his short roster of former 
owners, only four during the entire 19 th century, also hints at the importance of this coin. Ruding mentions an 
earlier former owner as a Mr Hannet, and comments as well that the Queen was said to have objected to the neck 
being unclothed on this pattern. In the same year this coin was created, the Spanish treasure fleet from America was 
captured by the Royal Navy at Vigo Bay in Galicia, and soon thereafter the best-known issue of this monarch was 
struck to taunt Spain. It would be a dozen more years before another pattern of this denomination was conceived 
and struck, for George I in 1714. 





502 f George II, pattern two guineas, 1733, by John Croker, laur. young head 1., rev \ crowned garnished 
shield, quartered arms of England and Scotland, arms of France, Ireland and Hanover, with 
semee of hearts for Hanover, plain edge (W&R.69), in plastic holder ; graded by NGC as PR63, nearly 
as struck, handsome gold colour, light hairlines, frosted portrait, shield and legends against mirrored fields, rated 
R5, 6 to 10 known, a fine example £15,000-16,000 

While not the rarest coin in this sale, this pattern is the first-ever struck for this denomination and is clearly a 
considerable achievement as a work of art in metal. It should therefore be seen, perhaps, as one of the most 
desirable coins here on offer, or that can be owned. It precedes the first commercial issue of 1734, which curiously 
is an overdate showing a '4’ over the final digit in the date. This can only mean that something delayed the process 
from conception to execution. The artistry of Croker’s double-guinea piece may be obvious, but the reason for 
its being begs some consideration, and in Ruding’s Annals of the Coinage we find the answer. Up until 1732, almost 
the only gold coins made by the then fairly new milled process were guineas and halves, and not many at that. 
Older gold hammered pieces, from the reigns of James I and Charles I, had by then been so generally abused by 
clipping, filing and wear that they were often refused in commerce. A number of merchants petitioned the House 
of Commons and the King, who issued a proclamation calling in all old gold, by weight, to be melted and recoined 
into fresh money in 1733. The new statutes arising from this action effectively ended the circulation of hammered 
gold coinage throughout the United Kingdom. Some £800,000 in old 'broad gold’ was at that moment consigned 
to the smelting pots. Out of the molten gold came sheer artistry! Forrer exclaims that Croker’s workmanship ranks 
among 'the best productions of the British coinage’, surpassed only by the genius of Thomas Simon, Pistrucci, 
and William Wyon. This lot provides collectors the chance to examine his work close up. Note the clean sharpness 
and simplicity of style of the King’s face, the intricate detail of his tied, flowing hair, and the simple yet elegant 
execution of the royal shield. Now consider the conditions under which this achievement was made: not at the pixel 
level on a computer, but by hand, under magnification, without electric lights! Mint employees then polished the 
nearly pure gold flan or blank, and impressed the carefully burnished dies perfectly, creating a beautifully frosted 
relief that has not been exceeded in quality even up to this day. And then there is the care of stewardship over the 
past 277 years as this coin passed through countless hands, owners and intermediaries alike. What we have here is 
a masterpiece struck in gold all those years ago, and long cherished. 





503 George II, proof crown, 1732, young laur. dr. bust 1., rev. crowned cruciform shields, roses and 
plumes in angles, plain edge (S.3686), in plastic holder, graded by PCGS as PR64, nearly as struck, 
exquisite bold detail, deep greyish mauve toning, frosted portrait showing though the colour as a testament to the

505 t George III, pattern two guineas, 1768, by J.S. Tanner, young laur. bust r. with long, flowing hair 
and lovelock over 1. shoulder, rev. crowned garnished shield, quartered arms of England and 
Scotland, arms of France, Ireland and Hanover with semee of hearts for Hanover, plain edge 
(S.3724; W&R.79), in plastic holder, graded by NGC as PR62, nearly as struck with lovely gold colour but 
light hairlines, delicate contrast to devices, rated R4, 11 to 20 known £15,000-16,000 

Surely one of the most artistically engraved of all gold coins, Tanner’s double guinea for the young King George 
is a famous rarity that most collectors of English coins have never seen aside from images. The large portrait is 
a masterpiece, in high relief for its day, while the reverse crown and royal shield are nothing less than majestic. 
Reverses at this period in time were crowded with Latin abbreviations of titles but here they seem less intrusive. 
Curiously, as Forrer tells us, little is known of Tanner’s early life, nor a great deal about his personal affairs; he 
excelled early on at engraving snuff boxes and gunlocks, and almost immediately upon arriving in England he 
was employed at the Royal Mint under Croker; he became chief engraver in 1741. Among his accomplishments 
were the popular Old Head silver coins of George II, created shortly after he rose to the top position at the 
Mint. Just before that, he reassembled the punches of Thomas Simon and created fresh dies of classic images 
for Richard Arundell, master of the Mint, the result being (in part) the only sixpences and half-broads available 
to collectors bearing the portrait of Oliver Cromwell. But these were ‘practice’ for the talented engraver, who 
seems to have reached his zenith as an artist in metal when he produced the present pattern, dated the same year 
that he stepped down as chief engraver. Shortly afterward, Tanner’s eyesight diminished and he passed away 
only seven years later. A few other, also elegant, golden patterns and proofs would be conceived and coined 
under the direction of Yeo and Pingo, seemingly indebted to the inspiration of Tanner, but 1768 seems to have 
been engraving’s finest moment using old methods and tools. A new era was around the corner, one of modern 
machinery, more efficiency, and greater production volumes, but the results were to be somewhat less inspiring, 
less artistic and less elegant for some time to come. It would take the brashness of an Italian immigrant half a 
century on before England’s coinage once again reached such great heights of art as evidenced by the magnificent 
pattern we see here. 








506 t George III, pattern guinea, 1765, by Richard Yeo, laur. bust r., two bottom curls not separated, 
numerals TIT closely spaced, rev. crowned garnished shield, plain edge (W&R.89), in plastic holder, 
graded by NGC as PR63, practically as struck, light hairlines but bold details, the portrait, shield and legends 
frosted against mirrored fields, rated R5, 6 to 10 known £5000-6000 


All early guineas of this king are very rare in high grade; mintages were small for the first few years, as there 
seems to have been plenty of gold in circulation from the Royal Mint’s manufacturing efforts at the end of 
the previous reign. As well, George IPs grandson seems not to have been easily pleased with portrayals of 
his visage on the guineas, because a variety of bust styles was used, all in the first five years of the monarchy. 
From a commercial point of view, silver in circulation circa 1760-65 had reached a sad state of affairs. Ruding 
described it to be ‘in a very imperfect state’: crowns had ‘almost wholly disappeared’, halfcrowns were in the 
main defaced and well worn and ‘by no means adequate’ to the needs of the day, shillings ‘had lost almost 
every mark of impression either on the obverse or reverse, and the sixpences were in a worse state’. All this 
despite some £8 million worth having been minted within the past decade or so. Today’s collectors might well 
keep Ruding’s comments in mind when viewing exceptional coins having minor marks, and be less critical of 
seeking perfection. Gold in circulation in the 1760s was not in so poor a state, and it was not until 1773 that 
the Crown’s ministers decided to coin gold in larger numbers. That coincided with the Fourth Head coinage 
which today we think of as the more familiar Rose guineas. And so, it is the early gold of this reign which is 
by far the more difficult to collect, but among that period’s gold it is certainly the pattern guineas which are 
both rarest and most beautiful. Among modern-day collectors, Captain Douglas-Morris assembled one of 
the finest representations of this series. Thirty-six years after his collection was sold at auction, these pieces 
are rarely available, and many important collections lack a single example of any of the patterns created by 
John Tanner, Richard Yeo or Thomas Pingo. The present specimen was the final effort by Yeo. The image 
seen here is that of a younger man with round cheeks. Only a few were ever made, and this is certainly among 
the nicest survivors. 




507 t George III, proof guinea, 1774, by Thomas Pingo, fourth laur. bust r., rev. crowned garnished 
shield, plain edge, rims bevelled (S.3728; W&R.95), in plastic holder, graded hjNGC as PR65, virtually 
as struck, among the nicest to be found, rare £3500-4000 


Although far rarer than many later gold proofs of the sovereign series, currently more popular among collectors 
than guineas, this piece is one of the gold proofs of the 18 th century that shows up with regularity, which may 
account for its not being especially valuable. Nonetheless, here is an exceptional example which should see 
spirited bidding. The reason for its existence is not clear. Tanner was succeeded as chief engraver in 1768 by 
Richard Yeo, then by Lewis Pingo in 1779. Lewis was the son of the man who engraved this coin, Thomas Pingo, 
who died in 1776. The two engravers produced a large number of dies for coins and medals, some unsigned, 
and it seems they worked well in unison. Numismatics had many enthusiasts at this time in England, and it 
would appear that a number of proofs of this guinea were minted for affluent collectors. Within twenty years 
a collecting mania would occur for the hundreds of copper tokens made privately for merchants and others 
throughout the kingdom, some of them reaching prices far higher than they are even today. The main focus of 
the time was indeed not on gold coins, attested to by the relative rarity of commercially intended guineas and 
fractions in the highest states of preservation. Most were simply used as money and perished. Proofs in gold 
were seldom made, the next one being in 1787 for the first year showing a spade-shaped royal shield. In fact, 
aside from patterns, this is the only proof made during the two decades or so when the Rose guinea was the 
main gold coin of the realm.

508 f George III, pattern guinea, 1782, by Lewis Pingo for Earl Stanhope, laur. bust r. with long wiry 
hair across neck and below truncation, rev. crowned garnished shield, the unusual design with 
ornate scalloped rims and pellets in arcs, curved graining edge (W&R.99), in plastic holder ; graded 
by NGC as PR63, nearly as struck with only minor hairlines, bold strike, pleasing gold colour having frosted 
contrast to the devices, rated R5, exceedingly rare, just 6 to 10 known £8000-9000 


Fascinating and beautiful in style, this is one of a small number of privately made patterns engraved by Lewis 
Pingo three years after he was made chief engraver at the Royal Mint. The style of the portrait is intricate beyond 
most other known coins bearing this king’s portrait. The royal hairstyle is exotic, and we will explain this in a 
moment. The royal crest is as complicated and lush as any ever minted, and surrounding it is a delicately engraved 
legend detailing the royal titles in standard Latin abbreviation. The rims, however, are what truly make this and 
related patterns unique. They are deeply denticled with broad strokes, and in between the ‘teeth’ the gold gleams 
from a smooth interstice. All this is intentional, and striking to the eye. No cataloguer could explain it better than 
Forrer did, so we shall quote him to finish up our commentary: ‘Lord Mahon, afterwards third Earl of Stanhope 
(1786), published in 1775 a tract which he had written two years previously, entitled Considerations on the means of 
preventing fraudulent Practices on the gold coin . . . and in 1782 he struck a variety of pieces in illustration of his views 
upon the means of protecting the coins from forgery, and injury by friction. . . . Hawkins describes seven varieties 
. . . Montagu owned nine specimens, varied, of the so-called “Pattern Guinea” or “Sovereign”, the obverse type 
of which was made from a puncheon of the Half-Guinea. The principles of Earl Stanhope’s remedy are very low 
relief, uniform flat surface, deep milling, date incuse, fine wiry lines introduced into part of the work, and the type 
brought quite close to the end of the coin’. His ‘fine wiry lines’ became King George’s wild hairstyle, appealing to 
us today, perhaps repugnant to the King as giving the appearance of a madman, an impression he surely wished 
to avoid by 1782 and in the years following. Private or not, accepted or not, regal or not, charming in their day or 
not—these are wonderful mementoes in gold, precious relics of their day, and maddeningly beautiful! 





509 f George III, pattern guinea, 1787, by Lewis Pingo, laur. bust r., rev. circular shield enclosed by the 
Garter and motto (W&R.102), in plastic holder, graded by NGC as PR62 ULTRA CAMEO, some very 
faint hairlines but the portrait, shield and all letters in lovely frosted contrast to the surrounding mirrored fields, 
deep gold in colour, rated R7 with just one or two known £13,000-14,000 

Perhaps the finest achievement of engraver Lewis Pingo, working with Royal Mint craftsmen, here is one of the most 
eye-catching coins in this collection because of its heavily frosted images set against deeply mirrored fields. However, 
this coin is also extraordinary in its conception and in the execution of its design. It just gleams! But look too at how it 
was put together. Its reverse is an obvious harbinger of the shield on the Military guinea. The bust is familiar, but the 
shield is unique and very modern in style. The King’s titles and the date encircle the Order of the Garter, which itself 
outlines the various components of the royal crest. What makes it particularly stunning to the eye is the frosted nature 
of the surrounding Order. Many collectors speak of ‘eye appeal’ and value it highly. Here it is to the Nth degree! But 
if it appeals to you, prepare to bid and bid again, for here is one of the rarest of all pattern guineas.

*ex Eliasberg Collection 


Lewis Pingo became chief engraver in 1779 and he remained in that post until 1815, when he was pensioned 
off and replaced by Thomas Wyon. Lewis and his father, Thomas, held sway at the Royal Mint for decades, 
producing a host of medals and coins, including a variety of patterns. The present piece clearly came into being 
to mark the appearance of a new commercial guinea, bearing on its reverse a shield shaped like a spade, by which 
name it came to be known. The design bears a simple elegance far removed from the stylishness and flourishes 
in gold seen on the patterns of J.S. Tanner a decade before, yet it is still majestic. Coins made for commerce 
wore quickly, being of low relief, and most of the yearly mintages entered commerce. Many were later melted 
and made into sovereigns. The average Spade guinea is not much to admire. In proof state, however, the coin 
takes on considerable eye appeal, and here we see one about as fine as one might be. To create it, both dies were 
highly polished, to produce mirrored fields. The devices were burnished, the result being a frosted contrast 
against the mirrors surrounding. While not extremely rare, this coin is nonetheless fairly elusive, especially so 
well preserved, for it was made strictly to show off the style and only for affluent collectors. It is the only Spade 
guinea date made in proof. Not until 1800, as a result of the Act of Union, one stipulation of which was the 
minting of annual ‘proofs for the record’ (to preserve examples for museums), were proof examples of the 
commercial coins made each year. This specimen was minted just prior to the time when the King was said to 
be mad, although modern scholars understand that his malaise was not madness per se but emotional instability 
caused by a blood disease passed down through generations of the Royal Family. Mad or not, he surely would 
have appreciated the beauty of this coin!

512 t George III, pattern ‘flag’ guinea, 1813, by Lewis Pingo, large laur. head r., short hair, rev. Royal 
Standard unfurled, legend surrounding, date below flag, plain edge (W&R.116), in plastic holder, 
graded by NGC as PR63 CAMEO, nearly as struck, light hairlines, rated R6, exceedingly rare with just 3 to 
5 known £13,500-14,500 

Pragmatism usually prevails over aesthetics, in any area of human endeavour, and that was true in 1813 when 
the Military guinea came into existence. No gold had been struck of this denomination since 1799, when the 
Spade design was faded out. The Napoleonic wars were raging at this time, and troops abroad - both British 
and mercenaries - were paid in specie, hard money, for a variety of reasons. Looking at the original pattern 
(W&R.113), the finally accepted version but dated 1804, also by Lewis Pingo after the model by Marchant, 
we must understand that interest had continued for some time in having a new gold coin to replace the Spade 
design used since 1787. The accepted Military guinea version, with which most collectors are familiar, bore 
a Caesar-like or Roman portrait with short hair held in place by a laurel wreath. This was quite a departure 
from earlier portraiture of the King. The reverse was simply the Order of the Garter surrounding the royal 
shield topped by a crown and surrounded by the legend—but both sides were in low relief, much as the 
Spade guinea had been. Uninspiring perhaps but practical, as the design would wear slowly. Yet far more 
challengingly engraved examples had been suggested: these are the several designs represented today by ten 
varieties (W&R.114-123). The first two as listed in the Wilson & Rasmussen reference, nos. 114-115, are 
variants on the accepted design, the reverse being ‘tighter’, the central device slimmer, which gives a finer 
appearance to the piece. Thomas Wyon came up with several stunning designs, their busts being smaller but, 
importantly, the reverses being elegant in concept. These are really just two types with variant edges. One 
features a squared shield, the other an embellished shield. But Lewis Pingo had a better idea (W&R.116-117), 
and to many eyes the finest of all the designs: his reverse shows the Royal Standard, fluttering to right in 
the wind, emblazoned with the crests, held to a flagpole by loops, the pole topped by a tiny crown. It was a 
glorious idea! Why was it not adopted for use? Can anyone say for sure? Pragmatism, no doubt: it was harder 
to strike, and to show all the fine details, than the plain rounded shield finally chosen. Two varieties exist, 
plain edge and reeded edge with straight grains. Curiously, the plain edge (this specimen) is rated rarer, though 
truth be told each is so rare that this pattern seldom comes to market, has been seen ‘in the gold’ by only a 
tiny percentage of today’s collectors, and always enchants the eye of the beholder - as well it should, for here 
is perhaps the most beautiful of all guineas, quite simply a gleaming masterpiece! 



513 t George III, pattern ‘ornamented shield’ guinea, 1813, by Thomas Wyon, short-haired laur. 
head r., end of ribbon on neck, W below truncation, rev. crowned shield, base garnished with 
sprays of rose, thistle and shamrock, date split 18-13 flanking crown, plain edge (W&R.118), in 
plastic holder, graded by NGC as PR63 ULTRA CAMEO, a beautiful specimen having only light hairlines, 
devices frosted against mirrored fields, rated R5, 6 to 10 known £10,000-11,000 

Known in just two versions (W&R.118 & 119), this marvellous coin has to rank among the most elegant of all 
modern gold coins. Paired with a Romanesque portrait, the shield reverse features classic floral images of the isles 
- rose, thistle, shamrock - surrounding a crowned crest and a split date. The concept is one of balanced elements, 
and it is graceful. The shield is angularly curved, and all is enfolded by the surrounding royal legend. The fields are 
deeply mirrored, offsetting the frosted design, creating outstanding eye appeal. A wonderful coin! 



514 t George III, pattern ‘square-shield’ guinea, 1813, by Thomas Wyon, short-haired laur. head r., 
end of ribbon on neck, W below truncation, rev. crowned and garnished square-topped shield, 
date split 18-13 flanking crown, straight grained edge (W&R.122), in plastic holder, graded by NGC 
as PR63 ULTRA CAMEO, a brilliant specimen having light hairlines, devices frosted against mirroredfields, 
rated R6, just 3 to 5 known £10,000-11,000 

Four versions of this design exist: plain edge (W&R.120), obliquely grained edge (W&R.121), straight grained edge 
(W&R.122), and edge with curved graining (W&R.123). Each is of great rarity. It might be argued that the other 
variety of shield, ornamented florally, is more elegant, but here the simple beauty of styling cannot be faulted 
either: the squared-off central shield has a thicker border than on the ornamented version, giving it a rugged look. 
The jewelled ermine crown fits firmly on top, the date split, giving the whole a wonderfully balanced appearance. 
Date and shield are also a bit smaller than on the ornamented version, making for a larger mirrored field. This 
square shield also has flourishes lacking on the other piece, and these must be inspired by Renaissance shields 
(S.2644, for example, on a silver halfcrown of James I). The design overall is both classic and fresh, and is seen on 
no other gold coins. 








515 George III, pattern sovereign or guinea, 1816, by Thomas Wyon after Pistrucci’s model, small 
laur. head r. in high relief, rev. crowned and garnished square shield, date 18-16 below, plain edge 
(W&R.187), in plastic holder, graded by PCGS as PR64 DEEP CAMEO, virtually as struck, brilliant 
with devices and legends on both sides heavily frosted and contrasting dramatically with surrounding mirrored 
fields, producing exquisite images, a masterpiece in gold, rated R6, just 3 to 5 known £10,000-11,000 

This coin bears a striking resemblance, in the conception of its style, to the pattern guinea of 1813 also by Thomas 
Wyon (W&R.122), the reverse shield being identical, the date changed to 1816 on this piece and the royal titles 
being differently placed and abbreviated (because of the new placement of the date). On the obverse, the legend is 
the same but the portrait has changed dramatically, based on the model by Pistrucci, essentially the portrait used on 
the New Coinage and particularly for the shilling of 1816-20. It is more masculine and seems more modern. It was 
altered slightly to have a shorter neck with less curvature at its base for the gold sovereign of 1817-20, seemingly to 
fit. It might well be said that no sovereign was ever more finely conceived than this pattern, where simplicity of line 
and cleanness of engraving achieved a stylishness not previously encountered on a gold coin of this she. 


516 f 



George III, proof half guinea, 1763, by Richard Yeo, laur. head r., rev. crowned shield of arms 
(W&R.127; Montagu 543; Douglas Morris 84), in plastic holder, graded by NGC as PE63, practically 
mint state, very rare £6000-6500 





517 



George III, Bank of England, pattern dollar in silver, 1804, laur. bust r., C.H.K on truncation, 
rev. royal arms within Garter surmounted by a crown dividing the date (ESC. 181), in plastic holder, 
graded by PCGS as PR63 RD CAM, virtually as struck with a most pleasing portrait and light toning, the 
undertype coin evident by ghosting around the portrait, rare £2500-3000 



518 f George III, pattern sixpence in gold, 1788, by Jean P. Droz, central crowned monogram within 
laurel branches, rev. Britannia seated to 1. on globe holding branch and spear, oval shield behind 
her, date below a double exergue line (W&R.151 var., milled edge), in plastic holder, graded by NGC 
as MS63, nearly as struck with pleasing surfaces, rated R3, 6 to 10 known £5000-5500 

Some pattern coins are simply mysteries. Two of those mysteries are the pair of monogram sixpences, struck in gold, 
dated 1788 and 1791. Silver examples are also known, and these are very scarce. The gold issues are far rarer. Even 
rarer is a pattern lacking the royal portrait. In its place, on this and the other piece (W&R.152, same, dated 1791), is a 
fancy scroll of £ GR’ surmounted by a large crown, all surrounded by a garland of leaves on two branches. The piece 
appears to be a Soho Mint product. The obverse conception, with the monogram, is oddly elegant if overly simple. 
The reverse speaks for itself. It is a beautiful thing, gleaming with golden lustre. Nobody can contest that. The only real 
question is why? No one knows why it was made. A dalliance at the mint? It came into existence in the same year as 
the King’s famous 'madness’ first appeared. Did His Majesty ask for something not showing his face? Or was it made 
secretly in jest? Rayner calls it R6 (3-4 known: ESC. 1643) but says nothing. Crowther knew only of one dated 1790 
with a plain edge (page 41), and also says nothing. Hocking did not know it existed. Some pattern coins are simply 
mysteries - but very rare. Only a few collectors will ever be able to own this coin. That much is known.

Named for the man who caused them to be struck, the various ‘Fullerton’ denominations were in fact the product 
of engraver John Milton. The Colonel was a fellow of the Royal Societies of London and Edinburgh and a Scots 
enthusiast whose idea was to create patterns, then coins for circulation in Scotland, bearing the likeness of the 
future George IV as Prince of Wales and Seneschal (judicial steward) of Scotland. In fact he asked for and 
acquired permission, or sanction, to design these coins directly from the Prince of Wales, but objections to use 
of the English royal arms as well as the effigy of the Prince in place of that of the King (coming from none 
other than Sir Joseph Banks, confidant of the King and one of the richest men in England) drew his efforts 
to a fast and sad conclusion. As a result he had struck off only some proofs in copper. Later, Matthew Young 
obtained the dies and created restrikes, mainly in silver. Though scarce, the coins are of sufficient availability in 
those metals that many collectors are familiar with them. Even sets exist in silver, consisting of the sixpence, 
shilling and halfcrown, some of the shillings called halfpennies. Fullerton and Milton were contemporaries, 
living at almost precisely the same stretch of time (Fullerton died in 1808, Milton in 1805). After his attempt at 
this coinage, Fullerton went on to become Governor of the Island of Trinidad, and no more was heard from 
him numismatically. Curiously, Milton had earlier created the dies for the 1788 Barbados Penny, showing a large 
pineapple on its reverse, today a most popular piece. He became an assistant engraver at the Royal Mint, this post 
lasting from 1789 until 1798. He was also medallist to the Prince of Wales, which likely explains his interest in 
working with Col. Fullerton on these famous patterns, which Leonard Forrer says are ‘of beautiful workmanship’. 
His medallic work is stylish. Importantly, Forrer also states (p.83, vol. IV) that only a few impressions ‘in soft 
metal’ (copper) were taken at the time they were first made, 1799, and that ‘the specimens in gold . . . are 
restrikes’ (p. 84). Nobody seems to know exactly how rare any of these are in gold, but suffice to say precious 
few have appeared at auction or elsewhere in memory - and surely none better than this gem.

We are most pleased to offer for sale, as part of this larger collection of patterns struck in gold, an 
astounding number of George III pattern halfpennies minted in gold, in fact most of the pieces listed in 
Wilson & Rasmussen’s reference. We cannot recall another modern auction in which such a fantastic array 
of these appeared. W&R list 9 pieces, and we have 7 on offer here, including two which are variants on 
patterns known to Peck only in other metals. Of particular note, perhaps, is W&R. 168, the 1807 restrike, 
a piece so rare that Wilson & Rasmussen’s book lacks a photo; the coin is ex Murdoch and so seldom 
seen that images of it were not available when that reference was published ten years ago. A new edition 
might now have photos to illustrate this rarity - offered here for the first time in many years, and like quite 
a few other coins in this sale truly an extraordinary ‘collecting opportunity’. That phrase is often used but 
seldom is it as valid as in the case of coins such as these.

The rare crowned halfpenny in copper is among the most charming of all patterns struck in this era. In gold, it 
takes on an entirely different appearance, far more enchanting to the eye because of its gleaming colour and the 
contrast between the background plain field and the portrait in bold relief. It is also much rarer than the copper 
piece. Here we have one of the most dramatic looking of all halfpenny patterns, indeed of many classes of patterns 
and proofs. However . . . this is no ‘ordinary’ crowned piece, as it is mated with an equally dramatic, frosted 
Britannia also in stark relief against its watery background. While the designs here are late 18 th century in origin, 
the restrike occurred late in the 19 th century (approximately 1862 to 1880), and the quality of strike here is as fine 
as any original Soho Mint product ever was. A beautiful and exotic pattern if ever there was one!

More than a curiosity, this is actually a trial strike made after the Soho Mint was shut down in 1848. At the sale of 
the mint’s goods appeared one William Joseph Taylor, a talented die-sinker in his own right; he purchased what 
was described at the time of the event as ‘a quantity of scrap metal, amongst which were a number of old Soho 
punches and dies’ (Peck, p. 221). Crowther stated the same fact in 1886 and mentions (p. 44) ‘a rather uncommon 
pattern, struck from the dies by Droz, in illustration of the principle on which he worked: this piece bears on one 
side the nude, and on the other the draped, figure’. He suggests that, after this trial piece was struck, the dies may 
have been defaced. Peck is unsure that Taylor ever intended to use dies he purchased at the mint sale to restrike 
coins, but admits that Very little is known about Taylor’s later restriking activities’ and rues the fact that Taylor’s 
contemporaries did not record details about when and how many restrikes were coined. No one, then, can say for 
sure precisely when this pattern was struck. It does seem to be a trial or sample of the two types of reverse design, 
nude and clothed, showing the original artist’s progression toward a finished, fine product, and may well have been 
created to be studied with an eye towards making future restrikes, mating each side seen here with other obverses 
and then destroyed. Its rarity is extreme.

Utterly charming, and clearly among the finest known of all halfpenny patterns of this period, this beautiful coin 
is almost an illustration of the achievements of both the Soho Mint and the later die-sinker who ‘rescued’ Soho’s 
dies, restruck them, and thereby made coins available for collectors who otherwise would never lay eyes on such 
items, nor understand their history. All numismatists owe Taylor a huge debt in this regard. We can all study the 
progression of dies as related by Peck, and marvel at the rarity as given by Wilson & Rasmussen. But why does 
a regal coin feature on one side an exquisite, heavily frosted portrait of King George, and on the other side an 
‘unfinished’ and therefore nude portrayal of the emblem of the land? Crowther tells us what probably happened. 
‘The figure of Britannia on the halfpennies by Droz is very graceful. To ensure the agreement of his work with the 
rules of anatomy, Droz first engraved a nude figure, and afterwards added the drapery. . . . All the halfpennies with 
the nude reverse were struck by Mr. Taylor’ (pp. 43-44). Further, he explains that among the scrap bought by Taylor 
at the mint sale in 1848 ‘were found several dies for halfpennies by Droz, and other patterns. A few of these dies 
had never been used, nor even hardened’. Taylor took these dies, hardened them, paired various ones, burnished 
them to rid them of rust, and struck small quantities, then destroyed some of the dies. Other dies survived and 
passed into collections in the late 19 th century, but were never used again. Even Crowther, in 1886, says no one 
knows how many were made, but evidently precious few. All of Taylor’s restriking activity occurred between 1862 
and 1880. He did not evidently set out to deceive collectors. His output of medals was prodigious, as a talented 
engraver and die-sinker. In the 1850s he was responsible for such creations as the Port Philip gold coins, copper 
patterns for the Republic of Liberia, and numerous Australian merchants’ tokens or store cards. His plan was to 
mint coins on contract as a serious businessman, much as Boulton had done earlier, but his dreams were ruined just 
a few years later when the price of gold made his ideas difficult to implement. In 1857 his coining press was sold. 
His passion for coining was not dead, though, and he seems to have wandered into restriking many of the Soho 
dies obtained at that sale in 1848. Peck’s cataloguing of all his issues gave credence to his work, and enumerated all 
known examples for collectors to consider and seek to obtain. Clearly, then, even though it is a restrike, this coin is 
a trial piece, albeit by a man who did not himself create or engrave either of the dies. What he did was leave for us 
a testimonial, or memorial in gold, to the artistic accomplishments of earlier artists.

Among the students of Thomas Halliday of Birmingham, manufacturer of buttons, engraver of dies for tokens 
and medals, were William Taylor, Joseph Moore, and William Wyon, the last perhaps the most famous and most 
talented of English coin engravers after Pistrucci, the first two important to collectors for their fantasy creations 
of ‘patterns’ and restrikes. Halliday never made a splash in the world of numismatics but his influence was 
considerable. His first student, Taylor, was apprenticed to him beginning in 1818, he moved to London in 1829, 
and worked at his trade until 1885. During that time he sought to make a business minting coins and tokens 
for far-flung colonies but this failed after only a few years, and his main occupation was the creation of a vast 
array of medals for schools, churches, businesses and commemorative events. Yet he is mostly remembered for 
the stunning fantasy creations he made out of dies rescued from the defunct Soho Mint. All are regal, some 
even majestic; most are of copper, a few of silver, the rarest of gold. This is a famous piece with an impeccable 
provenance. It is one of his largest pieces and its cameo effect is profound. Taylor must surely have smiled when 
this one emerged from the dies!

Only a few crowned effigies of King George III are known in gold. Mostly, images of monarchs wearing crowns 
were reserved for colonial coinages. For this piece, Taylor joined two dies having exquisite engravings. The broad, 
raised and frosted shelf of a rim surrounding Britannia sets off the image in a dramatic way, and it is unfortunate 
that this was not adopted for the actual coinage. It was probably too difficult to strike with enough consistency, 
when it was first created in 1795 for copper halfpennies, and so the rim was reduced, the incuse legend done away 
with, and efficiency of manufacture was served. But that was of no matter for this pattern, not for Taylor when he 
re-created it in gold. A marvellous piece was made. Unfortunately for collectors, there are not many to go around 
- one or two, to be exact. One bidder will secure it. Everyone else will have to make pictures do.

So rare is this coin that Wilson & Rasmussen failed to find one to photograph for their reference book. Taylor made 
one or two, probably on order, then took apart the dies. It is a fair guess he struck it early on, in the 1860s, as he had 
no further orders for it. The images are classic, from the final style produced by the Soho Mint. The provenance 
could not be bettered. The roster of collectors who could say they owned this piece, over a century and a half, is 
scant. Once this is sold, it is not likely to come back on the market for some time.

Medallic in quality, this marvellously engraved piece has for years been collected as a pattern crown, a logical thought as 
1820 was a year of transition between British monarchs. In point of fact, this piece was inspired by a French pattern coin 
of 1791-92 privately issued by the firm of Monneron Freres, that piece known in both silver and copper, showing Hercules 
endeavouring to break the fasces; but it was never coined, being prohibited by a French law of 1793 which abolished the legal 
tender status of all privately made pieces. It had been engraved by Augustin Dupre (1748-1833), who first used Hercules as 
a model for a series of jetons for merchants in 1776. Ten years later, he made a medal for Benjamin Franklin, just after he 
created the famous Libertas Americana medal (1783), and his sympathy for the cause of independence ultimately landed 
him the position of engraver-general for the coins of the First French Republic. He was a prolific engraver who employed 
the imagery of Hercules battling tyranny on numerous occasions throughout his career. The Monneron firm was the link 
between the original pattern and the British revision of it, seen in this lot. The firm was most active in the years 1791-92, 
making so many minor coinages for France during the revolutionary years that the coins came to be called ‘monnerons’ and 
their fractions. Their tokens in particular saw much use in the troubled times, most having been struck at the Soho Mint, 
which had an association with a Swiss engraver of great talent named Jean-Pierre Droz (1746-1823), trained in Pahs. His 
allegiance originally was with Louis XVI, for whom he engraved, early in his career, a pattern Ecu, in 1786. But Droz had 
equal talents at mechanics, inventing a means of reproducing coin dies more precisely than had previously been possible. 
This led to his association with Boulton and Watt at Birmingham, whose employment took him away from the terrors in 
France in the 1790s. He returned to France in 1799 and became Keeper of coins and medals at the Mint Museum, for the 
new regime. For Soho, he created a famous senes of patterns on which his name frequently appeared. For Napoleon, he 
engraved the bust used on all French gold issues of 1806-14, as well as what was considered in its day to be the finest metallic 
portrait of the emperor, for a pattern 5 Francs of the Hundred Days period. He was able to create a remarkable likeness of 
the flesh in metal (which his models of the nude Britannia had amply demonstrated earlier), as well as acute detail, as seen 
for example on the Bermuda coinage of 1793. He had already demonstrated his ability to engrave variously and quickly, 
having styled some fourteen thousand engraving plates for assignats in the Revolution, all done during 1792. In the decades 
that followed, he engraved numerous coins and medals, not just for free France but also for a host of European countries 
and their colonies. In the Hercules Crown’ of 1820 alone, however, as on no other coin, did the talents of Dupre the French 
patriot and of Droz the international stylist come together, to produce an enduring symbol of strength gained by freedom 
rebelling against any bondage of the human spirit.

Taste is inevitably tempered by time, but also fashioned by its own era. Sometimes, judgment is too hastily made. 
In the case of this pattern crown by George Mills (1792-1824), a favoured student of Benjamin West, the tragically 
short life of its engraver seems to have engendered an unfair and premature judgment. The coin was pronounced 
in its day to be of 'little decorative taste’. Mills never lived long enough to be employed by the Royal Mint but West 
called him 'the first medallist in England’ and he produced engravings for James Mudie, a wonderfully detailed 
reverse for the now-famous pattern crown of George III done with Webb circa 1817, medals for the Prince Regent 
and Wellington among others, and this pattern, which seems today to be more modern and lifelike than much else 
produced at the beginning of the 19 th century. Mills was awarded gold medals in 1817 and 1818, and again in 1823, 
by the Royal Society of Arts for his engraving skill. The ensuing two centuries would seem to have proven that his 
talent was not only sharp for its day but perhaps too far ahead of its time to have been truly appreciated by Mills’ 
contemporaries. Had he lived longer, his fame would surely have grown. His portrait of George IV on this coin is 
nothing less than extraordinary!

The high-relief portrait of such exquisite detail is possibly modelled directly from the marble bust by Chantrey that 
was so favoured by the king. Forrer tells us the engraver was a medallist of the Birmingham school who worked in 
London and Paris during the first two decades of the 19 th century. He also produced a medal of William Harvey in

Numismatic references have for many years noted this style of pattern to have been ‘by’ J. Rochelle Thomas, a 
Victorian dealer in antiques and curios doing business in London. One of his principal interests was in medals 
portraying celebrities of his day and featuring portraits of such greats as Alfred Lord Tennyson, but he also 
conceived the well-known ‘Egyptian’ styled Bonomi crown dated 1837 but made the same year as the pattern 
presented in this lot, and its related silver piece in an accompanying lot. For the Bonomi he had a novel idea, 
etching the design in reverse to produce incuse motifs. At the other extreme was this Veiled Bust piece, of 
intimate portraiture in relatively high relief. For its execution in steel, the die-work, he engaged the German 
firm of Ludwig Christoph Lauer, founded in 1729 but in 1887 only recently renovated as medallists and die- 
sinkers using the most up-to-date equipment. The firm had refurbished itself in 1848 and for the next 25 
years or so had introduced the newest in coining presses in its modernisation efforts, adding steam presses in 
1881. Despite this, its products were not so well received in its native Nuremberg nor by the German public, 
which tended at the time to prefer Austrian products, at least until the early 1880s, at which time the firm’s 
steam presses outdid competing mechanics. Ironically, L.C. Lauer had passed away in 1873 and he failed to 
see his dreams come to fruition. They were, however, carried on by his wife, Betty, and by his three brothers: 
Johann managed the business affairs, Ludwig arranged all technical requirements, and Wolfgang was medallist 
in charge of a staff of some 100 die-sinkers and engravers. The present pattern was among the finest products, 
albeit never accepted for commercial use, to come from their new minting facility erected in 1885. It certainly 
proved their efficiency and modelling skills, as did a vast assortment of jetons and commemorative medals 
made for clients all over Europe. Crown princes and queens were frequently portrayed, and no one could 
fault entrepreneur J.R. Thomas for wishing Her Majesty Queen Victoria to consider this intricately engraved 
pattern to be accepted for her Golden Jubilee. Spink & Son presented it for consideration, in various metals, 
including gold and the then-rare metal aluminium, by which time it had become one of the most common, 
and cheaply made, metals. Not so in 1887; it was precious then, as is this particular coin now. No doubt its 
German origin stood against it being selected to some extent, but more likely its design was judged to be 
too difficult to strike up, with consistency, for a commercial crown. The idea was abandoned after only a few 
samples were coined, and today little more than a handful of pieces, in all metals, exist to demonstrate the 
monumental engraving skill and the minting machinery that produced one of the most elegant coins struck 
during Victoria’s lifetime.

Peck states that this was struck from current copper halfpenny dies but on a larger flan, and with the wider rims it 
is more the size of a penny but as no denomination appears on the piece it could be collected as a halfpenny. The 
consignor wishes to note that he considers the piece to be ‘absolutely breathtaking’ in its beauty and further states 
T cannot recall seeing a nicer example of a Victorian pattern’. It would be difficult to disagree as the coin is pristine, 
as struck, apart from light toning, and in addition a great rarity.

Numismatists have never determined whose hand, precisely, created the images seen on this pattern, attributing 
the piece simply to Spink & Son, for whom it is signed in a tiny ‘S’ beneath the ground-line, on the obverse. An 
interesting comment appears in L. Forrer’s Biographical Dictionary of Medallists, published in 1912, only a decade after 
this piece was minted. In volume 5, he states, on page 638, the following: ‘The firm’s works are equipped with the 
latest power and reducing machinery for the perfect manufacture of every kind of die-sinking, medal, badge and 
ticket-work. . . . The firm, anxious to produce only what should be truly artistic, employed talented artists and 
designers (in particular, Mr. Frank Bowcher). . . .’ Whether or not he was the unknown hand behind this magnificent 
pattern crown, its artistic worth has never been challenged. 




562 George VI, pattern double florin, 1950, by H. Paget, bare head 1. with date below, rev. St. George 
and the dragon within band from the Order of the Garter, FOUR SHILLINGS stamped incuse 
into the milled edge (ESC.406C[R7]), nearly as struck and quite attractive, no commercial or proof coins 
of this denomination struck during this reign, exceedingly rare, only 1 or 2 known £6000-8000 


The double florin was a confusing denomination, too close in size to the crown, essentially a Victorian experiment 
created during a period of great wealth but even then seen as an unneeded piece which first appeared in 1887 
and was abandoned within just four years. Yet, there must have been some enduring sentiment for it as a 
potential commercial coin, perhaps for trade with or in exchange for coins of European states. Indeed there was 
a movement toward the end of the nineteenth century, also seen in the United States, for new denominations 
which might compete with each other in such transactions. In the USA, numerous patterns of the so-called 
Metric style came into being but never went beyond initial consideration. A few were in gold, such as the 
American Stella of four dollars, but most were silver pieces, which suggests that their potential purpose was 
mainly for popular exchange. In Britain, most double florins after the demise of the denomination in 1890 were 
of private origin, the Huth pieces of 1911 to 1914 being all that most numismatists think of, but two pieces came 
from the Royal Mint in 1950, styled closely to the crown of 1951 - but only in their central devices. Perhaps the 
1950 double florin pattern was the inspiration for the crown of 1951. Only a handful, literally, were made in 
two variants, and ESC.406C is clearly the rarer of the two. In fact, piece offered here is among the rarest of all 
modern coins, seen by or known to few numismatists as it appears so infrequently. The edge is milled, which sets 
it apart from the crown type, but more importantly the legends have been arranged differently. The date appears 
on the obverse, while the reverse finds the classic St. George motif surrounded by the familiar motto of the 
Garter, within a finely cut pair of circles intended to represent a buckled belt on which the motto appears. No 
denomination is stated on the other variety (406B), but here it is entirely spelled out on the milling of the edge, 
leaving no doubt at all about what this special coin is. If you seek true rarity combined with a classic design, in 
an under-appreciated pattern, you need look no further. 



Irish Coins and Medals 



563 f George III, pattern or proof penny in gold, 1805, draped bust r., rev. crowned harp, HIBERNIA 
above, date below (cf. S.6620, variant in gold), in plastic holder, graded by NGC as PR63 ULTRA 
CAMEO, nearly as struck, light hairlines but of high brilliance with brightly reflective fields and frosted devices, 
exceedingly rare £15,000-16,000 

Ireland had no gold coins in 1805. Not much in the way of coppers either. The obverse of this large penny is 
English through and through. A beautifully engraved image of an Irish harp dominates the other side. It dates 
from the time when Irish lads were conscripted for service in the army and navy to fight Napoleon. This coin in 
copper was made mainly for collectors. Proofs are relatively rare. Choice gilt pieces are lovely enough, and rarer still, 
but in gold this coin takes on a new dimension - and a degree of rarity so extreme that most collectors, in truth, 
have never seen one. Hocking lists (p. 243) copper, bronzed and gilt examples, but nothing in gold. It’s a stunning 
specimen in every regard! 






564 t Victoria, pattern double florin in gold, 1900, by Huth for Pinches, crowned dr. bust 1., rev.

mirrorlike fields, a lovely example, very rare £11,500-12,500

(DF.646), in plastic holder ; graded by NGC as PR63,faint hairlines, nearly as struck, colour slightly uneven, 
very rare £11,500-12,500 

The reverse, very similar in design to that of the ‘gunmoney’ coinage of James II, bears a legend that is a variant 
of the classic biblical Latin taken from Psalm 68:1, favoured by James VI, first king of Scotland and England, who 
used 'Great Britain’ in his legends; here the legend EXURGAT DEUS DISIPETUR INIMICI (a variant of the classic) 
translates as Let God arise, Let His Enemies Be Scattered’, a motto that was chosen by James himself, it is believed.
